Nature and its elements is an amazing thing to go up against. The urgency of adrenaline a storm chaser gets, the rush of blood flowing through their veins and causing their heart to pump with each assault of wind and water cannot be beaten by any other man-made simulation. And while we can run in the rain, swim in the river, crawl in a cave, dance barefoot in the grass, we cannot and should not attempt to look the sun in its glorious face. That is a battle that will leave us seeing spots for ages.
So to prepare for war against one of the largest stars in our galaxy we need to enshroud our face, more specifically our eyes with some glass. Vintage glass. And while protective measure like life vests are protective with no fashion sense, sunglasses do not only create an aura of mystery towards the colour of our eyes but they can be an accessory you will be wont to leave the house without.
Vintage glass plus your face equals a statement worth repeating. Each and every sunshine-filled day.
But finding sunglasses that will actually make a positive statement for your face takes a little effort. You need to play matchmaker between the shape of your face and the style, cut and shape of the lens. A few tips and tricks and your trip to sunglass hut will suddenly make sense for your face.
The Round Face: Full Cheekbones, Narrow Forehead and Jaw
For the round face, you do not want to opt for a pair with round lenses or even overly coloured lenses, as these will intensify the shape and size of your face, making facial features seem larger and give the impression of fullness. You should pick a pair, however, with wide rectangular lenses that are generally wider than your face, which will elongate the look of your features.
Designed after the original 1952 pair, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Tortoise shades are an excellent start.
The Square Face: Square Jawline, Broad Forehead
The square face is distinguished lines should not be embellished with geometric or angular lenses. The square face is perfect for vintage lenses as it embraces the cat’s eye lenses as well as oval or round ones. Make your eyes profoundly and expressively round with these SXUC Lennon Sunglasses and embrace walking on the wild side.
The Oval Face: Balanced Cheekbones, Jaw and Forehead
For such a balanced, evenly proportioned face, any shape becomes. Want to dazzle? Search for a pair whose angular lines are softened. Another tip to bear in mind is a hair and eye colour. You wouldn’t want an ensemble that is creatively colourful, to have your sunglasses clash with your own physical features.
